A large portion of my career has been in septic systems and wastewater management actually.

It would be nice if bidets were more widespread, but fats, oils, greases, and unflushable materials like qtips, sanitary pads, condoms, and 'flushable' wipes are the primary concern for sanitary sewers and on-site septic systems alike.

Toilet paper is fine. But yes, I can attest from professional experience if you and your neighbors do not have plumbed water or you're using privies or holding tanks, limiting toilet paper usage can be beneficial.
